Curriculum for ADHD 2nd Grader?
Posted: Fri Sep 27, 2013 1:17 pm
Hi All. I'm a first year homeschooler to two boys, ages 7 & 9, 2nd and 3rd grade (coming out of public schools). We are using Trail Guide to Learning - Paths of Exploration. It is a unit study approach that includes traditional and hands on activities. It is working really well for my oldest and we love it. He likes knowing the topic we will be studying for the 6 week period and thrives on the immersion approach. My youngest, however, HATES it. He was over studying Christopher Columbus after the first week. He is ADHD, with emphasis on the H part. He thinks everything is boring, even when I've pieced together things that involve his favorite topics. Does anyone have a suggestion for a curriculum that is engaging to a 7 year old, wiggly, easily distracted boy? He's working at grade level, enjoys some computer work and hands on activities. Any ideas on something that will hold his focus?
Any ideas are appreciated as this is my first year and I'm already thinking I won't be able to do this with the youngest.
